Another fake UK made helmet: Braunschweig

[ww1czechlegion]

Here's another fake, piece of crap, UK made 1970's to 1980's helmet that is getting bids on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/IMPERIAL-GERMAN-PICKELHAUBE-Helmet-with-Skull-and-Cross-Bones-Peninsula/142668533271?hash=item2137b50e17:g:6UsAAOSwItJaalPF

Same puckered up UK made leather sweatband that is once again wayyyy toooo bigggg for the helmet shell... [-X

Same stupid looking very sharp tipped spike... ](*,)

Same old incorrect back visor edge finish work... :thumbsdown:

And a really crappy looking skull with an equally crappy peninsula scroll below the skull... :x [-X :thumbsdown: ](*,)

Best Regards,

Alan

Utter crap in every way... Someone could better spend his money on reference books.

But like the Crap Wurttemburg helmet that sold recently, this seller also claims that it "came from a vet or a son of a vet". Big deal, wow, what a crook and liar some of these sellers truly are...

Hey, there is nothing to say the son of a vet can't make fakes.

The best thing about this piece of crap is the "magnificent aging" of the piece as seen here. We see an excellent use of chemicals on all fittings and someone even sat on it to add further reality...top!

It seems somebody caught him: "This listing was ended by the seller because there was an error in the listing".
